There is great danger Of Coroners
Suriss falling into regular sssseotyPed
man Of rendering verdicts. TOR In
stance, q; the inquest held over the
body Of little Ella Montgomery. killed
by stone thrown By Willie Maxwell,
. VET k before, the jury returned YER
dict of accidental death, and upon the
strength OF that verdict Maxwell was
set st liberty. In cases Of death 1t ts .
stretch Of authority for Coroner's
Jury to determine the guilt or limo
cenoe OF any accused person. The law
gives O Coroner no right to admit even
TO ball an accused person, exospt In
cases Of homicide and manslAsChter.
Even II the death Of. Ella Montgomery
was caused by . stone automatically
thrown at the child these 10 no denial
that the stone was thsown, and that
death was caused by the throwixg OF
the stone. The boy had DO legitimate
object for throwing stoner, but was
evidently throwing them around IN q
careless manner, not caring whom he
might hit. Under these circumstances
how could 1t be an accident, like men
shooting at o hawk and killing PEE.
son, or even throwing q etone at
snake or wild animal and hitting G
Ghild. The throwing Of the stone itseli
was An illegal and unwarrsntsd act
which sweeps away the accidental part
of the verdict. UsuAlly In cases Of
deaths OF that nature 1t has Only been
che province Of the Coroner to inves.i
gate the cause OF death and let the
other part rest with the courts. Al
we'll might 1t be called On accident thai
. man should be killed by gun sho
fired by . man who just shot OF bill
gun cArelessly, not looking In whal
direction he poin ted 1t. The man had
no intention, OF course, to kill any
body when he Cred off hiG gun, but hs
aid Are 1t nevertheless; and Willie
Maxwell had no intention to kill httl'
Ellie Montgomery, bui he did throw
the stone that killed her. What buOi
ness had either the man to Ere the ger
or Msxweli 10 throw the stone? They
are both on par.

a Good Word for Base Bali.

While am on the subject of base ball
may as we'll get rid of grievance that
has been q pet of mine for some years,
says writer in the Philadelphia
Call. 1t seems to me that
we Americans, in our desire to disprove
the charge brought against US of being
oTerboastful, have gone to the other
extreme and rather delight in decrying
ourselves. Take, for instance, this very
national game of ours, which is, in nv
opinion, the emperor of all sports. What
writer OF reputation has ever condescend-
ed to say good word for il? And vet,
why shouldn't he?
Take the Englishmen and their nation
al game; the libraries are full of BOOKS
about it, and no English gentleman would
feel that his education was com
piete unless he knew something
OF 1t and could handle the
bat and ball fairly well, and the literary
men OF the little Island love to tell of the
days when they too, went to the crease
and DATED out victory for their side, or
oy marvellous catch in the field saved
the game.
Our literary men would faint il anyone
accused them of making q three-bsse
hit for q One-handed stop and throw.
In fact, l don't believe one of
them knows what these things are.
To my mind there is not anything
in the world equal TO the pleasure
OF hitting the ball q fair smack on the
"trade mark" and sending it spinning
through the air, or after making a long,
hard run, reaching up and grabbing the
flying sphere snd holding il.

NASHVILLE TENN, May 20.-There has

however, it is revised edition of faro,
